With a post count of a grand total of 1 and a registration date of less than a few hours old, I'd say it would be quicker and easier just to create another account using the new username that you wish to. [Shruggs]

The short answer is no. We provide no easy way to do this and the current system was not designed for usernames to be changed on the fly.

A handful of employees have had their usernames changed at one point or another (five years back I was ruaric) but this is not without problems. My colleague aeyoun had no end of problems when he had it done. Then again, I encountered no problems whatsoever.

Wonderful...SO...all of my old account data (sync) is gone...but my primary email address is still tied to this username I DON'T want.

The username can't be changed, and if I understand correctly, my email address will not be permitted to be used for a new account, even after the account is FULLY deleted (3 week inactive 'hold' has expired).

If that's correctcorrect, then I'm stuck with either a username I don't want, or having to permanently use a different email.
